Line and Curve Tag Labels

[cwarner]

OK, I know I am rehashing a old topic that will never be resolved but, here is a different twist (I think).

Is there a way to put a place holder in a line/curve table to skip a number or series of numbers?

The only way I can think of is making a dummy line(s) off in space and labeling them the number sequence you want a place holder for then, in paper space applying a mtext with background mask and adding your custom text. I have done this before (see attached) but, looking for a more efficient or elegant way of doing this.

Manual renumbering the remaining 102 lines is not an option for cost/time/human error purposes and, manager want all lines accounted for (no break in sequence).

** explanation of line work in table **
Its a simple array for text spacing on a no plot layer. This should be self explanatory but, someone will ask.

Thanks for everyone's time.

This is Civil 3D. They don't make these things easy. Your (time consuming) method is possibly the only method to complete your task.

if you explode the table twice, it converts everything to lines and mtext, so you could delete the bearing and distance.

downside is they're not dynamic anymore.

don't worry about the missing link. he's a first time poster, probably a spammer -- since there nothing pertinent to the conversation in the bland reply. that could be a reply to 99.9 percent of posts on this forum. and it's reported

New posters can share links, but, they're hidden until it is determined that they are not spam.
Thanks for the report, CADtag, the link was clearly spam and the banhammer was duly dropped. Appreciate those who help keep the forums full of legit content!
